is it possible to build an rpm to upgrade another package that i did not build

I would like to upgrade in place an rpm supplied by the distribution
with one 1 compiled (only because some requirements are not in the
distribution version)

I just build it so that version string pattern matches what is in the
distribution but it seems to be not possible.  What else should I do
to the spec file so that I can do this?

yum remove and yum install is the not the route I would like to go at
this point because it would remove mess up the dependencies.



sudo yum install postfix-2.9-4.1.amzn1.i686.rpm
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities, security, update-motd

The same error with 'yum update'

Thanks
